Kelsey Olguin

If you’ve ever been on an ICEJ USA tour—or are planning to join one—you’ve already been blessed by the incredible work of Kelsey Olguin, our Tours & Outreach Manager. Kelsey is the quiet force who makes these life-changing trips to Israel run seamlessly, handling countless details behind the scenes so you can simply enjoy the journey.

A former wedding videographer, she has served with the ICEJ for 10 years, bringing creativity, precision, and a heart for people to everything she does. Kelsey first joined the ICEJ in Jerusalem from 2008–09, working in the graphics and video department alongside her late husband, Jon.

“It is truly a joy to know that the gifts God has given me are being used in his kingdom,” says Kelsey. “It’s amazing to be a small part of helping people get to experience Israel in person and seeing so many of their lives transformed as the Bible comes to life before them. I pray for a life-changing impact for them personally, for the Jewish people and for the kingdom of God.”

For Kelsey, serving with the ICEJ is deeply personal—rooted in a profound awareness of how the Jewish people have blessed her own life. “So many of the blessings I cherish, including the gift of eternal life through Jesus, have come through God’s call on them and His purposes for them,” she shared. “They have carried the calling and the burden of bringing redemption to the world and have paid an immense price for it. I have been grafted into the promises God gave to and through them, and my heart overflows with gratitude and a longing to see their complete restoration in Jesus.”

Kelsey lives in middle Tennessee with her husband, Esteban, and their two children, Harper, who is 6, and EJ, who is 17. When she is not planning ICEJ USA tours or helping to manage the growing number of outreach events for pastors and churches, Kelsey enjoys spending time with her family. She also loves home improvement projects, landscape gardening, strategy games, puzzles, biking, and hiking.
